"In fact, I sometimes wonder who inverted starched collars."

The Mayor admitted that his dress is not popular with everybody,

"A mayor is the representative of the King, is he not? He should behave in a manner fitting the

Prominent Weston council officials were concerned with pilots in drinking out of hours at Weston-super-Mare's airport and that regulations forbidding pilots on duty to drink were "flagrantly and frequently broken."

A crowded court heard the allegations made when Mr. Edgar opposed an application by the Borough Council at the annual licensing session for renewal of the drinking licence at the airport;

Mr. Edgur, in evidence, dzelured that the drinking was led by his joint director, over whom he had no control,

Trade Unions In Hongkong

A question was asked in the House

of Commons recently with re-

į gard to trade unions in Hongkong.

This recler, he elleged, took plots into the bar during the after- noon and they were actually under the influence of drink, though nut drunk, when they go into service planes containing passengers,

Mr. L. G. Watson, Town Clerk, and Mr. H. A. Brown, the Barongl Surveyor, had also been drinking there out of hours, he added.

"DRASTIC STEPS"

Mr. Cyril Williams (for Western Airways, Limited), referring to an Mr. Strensen asked the Secretary impending High Court action by Mr. of State for the Colonies whether Edgar against the company to trude unions In Hongkong are freely wrongful disminant, said he though permitted to function; bow many a licensing case should not be use industrial disputes have taken place as a dress rehearsal for litigation during the last 12 months; and whe-, which was pending, ther.any.trade unions have been-sup-j

These were of a minor nature, and in cach unse an amicable settlement was reached through the Sceretariat of Chinese Affairs."

No bona fide trade union has been suppressed, but certain guilds and associations which professed to be trade unions have from time to time been declared unlawful under the Societies Ordinance of 1920, mainly on account of terrorist and politicat activities. The last of such sup- pressions took place more than months ago.
